Recipe Rhubarb cake

I probably didn't spell Rhubarb right... for all I know it's rubarb, but the "h" makes it seem much more dignified. Anyway, I got this killer cake recipe from my Aunt Marjorie and here it is.

Remember when cleaning your rhubarb only wipe it down with a damp cloth. Never run it under water. It acts like a sponge and soaks up liquids. Try not to pick it right after a rain either, same reason.

Rhubarb Cake

4 cups chopped rhubarb
1 1/2 cups sugar

Mix together and set aside.

Now make a yellow cake mix as per the directions on the box. Pour the cake batter into a greased cake pan, just like you would to make just the cake.
Spread the rhubarb and sugar as evenly as you can over the cake batter.

Pour 1 cup whipping cream over the top of the whole thing.

Bake at 350 until set. Remember that the fruit and cream make a custard underneath the cake, so you just make sure the cake is done. Your knife will not be clean towards the bottom, but the cake will be fine. It will brown nicely on the top.

Serve warm with more whipped cream or ice cream. WONDERFUL!!!

Will does not like rhubarb, so every once in awhile, I make this with sliced peaches (canned or fresh) and 1 cup sugar instead of the rhubarb. It tastes great too.

Enjoy!
